Attempts To Revive Two Bills WASHINGTON. May 27 — <UJE?> —Attempts to revive two bills —the bonus and the TV A amendments— went forward in congress today. Sen.

Smith To Talk at Final Meeting of Philosophy Forum In the final philosophy forum of the year tomorrow H. Jeffery Smith, instructor of philosophy, wili speak on "Tennyson's In Memori-am: The Eternity of Friendship." This semester's series of philosophic discussions which have been sponsored every Tuesday afternoon by the School of Philosophy has been based on the theme, "Living Philosophy in Great Literature." Delegation of Powers Blamed In Repudiation Statement by Chairman of Administrative Board Sums Up Action * Veteran Finds Book by Huey Is Interesting By United Press. Faced with an army that dissipated like a morning fog, Royal W. Robertson, crippled war veteran, sat in his automobile last night and read a book. "Every Man a King." by Huey Long. Robertson, who had planned to lead an army of 3.000 California | veterans to Washington to demand immediate payment of the bonus, admitted that the kingfish's policies intrigued him, but said he was not yet ready to come out in support of Louisiana's senator. "Our aims are growing, though." said Robertson, as he looked out over a vacant circus lot and surveyed his seven stalwart followers. He had 11 men in his army Sunday when the time came to strike camp, but four were salesmen, and they soon left. In addition to the bonus, Robertson has added to his aims the Townsend plan, the veterans' administration. and administration of the Indian bureau. "Do you expect to build an army on those aims, too?" he was asked. Robertson sighed. "I'm just feeling the veterans' pulse now," he said. The man who led a large group of veterans to Washington in 1932 frankly admitted he didn't know if he'd ever raise a new army in California. "Things are a little too tough here. I guess," he said. "I'll march down Pennsylvania avenue if I march alone." WASHINGTON, May 27.—<U^»— Donald R. Richberg, chairman of the National Industrial Recovery board, tonight issued the following statement regarding the supreme court decision of NRA: "On June 16. 1933, when the National Recovery act was approved, the president stated the simple truth that the act was a challenge to industry, labor, and to our whole people—a challenge to 'sink selfish interests and present a solid front against a common peril.' Law Puts Test "He stated that the law put to our whole people "the simple but vital test: 'Must we go on in many groping, disorganized, separate units to defeat or shall we move as one great team to victory?' "In the two years which have followed we have engaged in a great cooperative movement for the rehabilitation of trade and industry, for the improvement of the conditions of the workers and their standard of living, and for the elimination of sweatshop wages, child labor, and unfair competitive practices. Congress Did Not Define "According to the opinion of the supreme court, the congress did not sufficiently define in the law the policy and standards of the wise and beneficent measures which we have undertaken, but delegated to the president 'unfettered discretion' to approve of provisions in codes of fair competition which he deemed 'beneficial in dealing with the vast array of commercial and industrial activities throughout the country.' Delegation Unconstitutional "The court held that: 'The codemaking authority thus conferred is an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power.* "This decision, of course, makes codes of fair competition unenforceable as a matter of law: and in deference to that ruling, all methods of compulsory enforcement of the codes will be immediately suspended. This will not affect the enforcement of any contractural ob-ligatio which may have arisen by agreement of a party requiring no sanction of the federal authority." Repudiated £ourt Ren(}ers Opinion To Void Code Practice Sustained in his bonus veto only last week. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt met with a severe set-back yesterday when the supreme court of the United States, through Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, declared the NRA repugnant to the federal constitution.

Redrafting of Measure To Offset Objections Is Seen by Senator Copyright. 1935. by United Press. WASHINGTON. May 27.—<UB>— The heart and core of NRA—its power to put business under codes— is unconstitutional, the supreme court ruled today. Lawyers crowded into the room where the supreme court render* its decisions and said Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes had read the death warrant of NRA. Harrison Defends NRA On the other hand. Chairman Pat Harrison of the senate finance committee, said it would be possibl* to enact legislation that would continue NRA and meet all the supreme court's objections. Congress exceeded its authority when it delegated to President Roosevelt the power to promulgate rules for the conduct of business, Hughes said in an opinion that j swept aside virtually everything done under the blue eagle for the i last two years. Court Goec Further The court went even further. It ruled that the federal government has no right, to regulate the. hours of labor and the wages to be paid in a business just because that business affects interstate commerce. L Only becattee of the fact that the I co'trt ruled on NRA and probabh I veered the course of American his-! tory was another of its decisions today overshadowed. It also found the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage act illegal. That was the bill that entitled a bankrupt farmer to stay on his land and pay rent even after he had been foreclosed. It empowered him to purchase the land back if he could get money within five years. Republicans Are Backers Despite the fact it was passed by a congress controlled by Democrats, the Frazier-Lemke measure could not be called a New Deal enactment. It was sponsored by two North Dakota Republicans—Senator Lynn J. Frazier and Representative William Lemke—and was signed by President Roosevelt With misgivings. Administrator Joseph Choate Jr, offered a snap opinion that the supreme court ruling voided the authority of the federal alcohol con-(Continued on Page Four) Von KleinSmid To Deliver Address at Arizona Exercises Returning to educational circles where he was a leader from 1915 to 1921 as president of the University of Arizona, Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmld last night delivered an address at the inauguration of Dr. Grady Grammy as president of the State Teachers' college at Tempe Arizona.

Mrs. Julia Ellsworth Ford, to the University of Southern California's library. In this compelling novel. Mrs. Ford has made a strong plea for the recognition of the straggle against the evils of the opium traffic which is becoming definitely established in this country.

Mrs. Ford, who is particularly interested in literature for children, established the Julia Ellsworth Ford Foundation of Los Angeles which gives annual prizes for the best juvenile manuscripts.

Holy. Sh-t.
More TIFF announcements, more major additions, so many world premieres at this year's film festival including the Midnight Madness line-up and more potential award winners to the schedule covering the entire spectrum from elder Hollywood statesman to dirty tramps and roughnecks.
Clint Eastwood will be in Toronto with Hereafter starring Matt Damon. Matt Damon in Toronto again. Always.
On the other hand, Mickey Rourke and Megan Fox's Passion Play will screen at TIFF too. And closing the festival this year will be the long-awaited, at least for me, Last Night with Keira Knightley, Guillaume Canet, and Sam Worthington.
Danny Boyle's Slumdog Oscar follow-up 127 Hours will make its world premiere in Toronto which means James Franco should be in attendance. And Will Ferrell in Everything Must Go, perhaps a return to his Stranger Than Fiction form from a few years ago. And Milk Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black directs Jennifer Connelly in What's Wrong With Virginia, also a world premiere.
Midnight Madness includes :
- Liv Tyler and Ellen Page in Super
- Josh Hartnett, Woody Harrelson, and Demi Moore for Bunraku
- Hayden Christensen and Thandie Newton in Vanishing on 7th Street
Joaquin Phoenix and Casey Affleck are indeed bringing I'm Still Here to TIFF. What does that press conference look like? What do those interviews look like? Watch the trailer and then imagine it. Amazing.
I head to TIFF right after Labour Day with coverage for etalk. Can't wait! We can further discuss during today's LiveBlog.

text: Unknown and uncontacted? Newly released photographs of an uncontacted tribe, previously unknown to the public, were the first such announcement since 2008. Even now, in an age of globalization, satellite photographs and ever-growing industrial populations, uncontacted tribes have yet to be discovered. According to contacted Yanomami, some uncontacted members of their tribe still exist. They call them the Moxateteu. Image: A Yanomami village structure./Survival International.Stay Away: The Sentinelese While most uncontacted or recently-contacted groups live in the Amazon, four inhabit India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands, in the eastern Bay of Bengal. They're believed to be direct-line descendants of early migrations from Africa. After the tsunami in 2004, the Indian government sent a helicopter overhead, looking to see how those tribes had fared. On North Sentinel Island, a man ran onto the beach, and fired an arrow at the helicopter. Some people think the islanders, being closely attuned to nature's signs, escaped the tsunami relatively unscathed. It's impossible to know for sure — but they definitely didn't want help. Image: Indian Coast GuardReasonable Misgivings When the Sentinelese islanders didn't want help after the 2004 tsunami, it was perfectly understandable. Forced contact with colonial settlers in the 19th century had resulted in at least deaths from disease. In the 1980s and 1990s, shipwreck salvagers visiting their island killed several more. Despite these problems, the Sentinelese — believed to number between 50 and 200 people, and living on an isolated island — are doing far better than neighbors who made permanent contact. The Onge and Great Andamanese both live in remnant populations on small reserves, unable to practice their traditional ways of living and dependent on government support. Image: Christian Caron/Survival InternationalThe Plight of the Jarawa The Jarawa, a once-nomadic Andaman island tribe of about 250 people, made contact in 1998, emerging from their small forest preserve to visit nearby towns and settlements. A road built in the 1970s had split their land in two, giving easy entry to illegal poachers and hastening development on surrounding lands. Contact was an act of desperation. Since then they've been wracked by outbreaks of measles. The Indian government gives Jarawans food, tobacco and alcohol in exchange for work, and in 2010 a government official announced his intentions to "drastically mainstream" the Jarawa. In February of this year, India's Minister of Tribal Affairs announced his support for this process. Image: Salome/Survival InternationaProgress in the Amazon Until recently in Brazil, where many of the world's remaining uncontacted tribes live, making contact was formal government policy. In 1987, recognition of the disease and cultural conflicts invariably produced by contact led to that policy's reversal. Brazilian government presence is now limited to surveillance planes far overhead. When a tribe's presence is documented, they're given rights to the land, and left alone. Sometimes, however, uncontacted communities and development are on a collision course. When that happens, the governmnent may initiate contact in the hope of averting further conflict. Above is a screengrab of a video made in 1996 by Brazil's Indian Affairs Department, who contacted a group of Korubo Indians headed towards an armed logging camp. Image: Survival InternationalIsolated by choice Uncontacted people are not ignorant of the outside world, but remain isolated by choice. In the Amazon, most are descended from groups who escaped the depradations of the rubber boom, a period of barbarous development that began in the late 19th century and continued well into the 20th. Rubber companies, ranchers and other developers routinely enslaved or exterminated Indians; their actions were arguably genocidal. At one trial of a man involved in a massacre organized by the Arruda, Junqueira & Co. rubber company, the judge declared: "We have never listened to a case where there was so much violence, so much ignominy, egoism and savagery and so little appreciation of human life." The massacre took place in 1963. Image: Gleison Miranda, FUNAIDeadly Mahogany Though conditions for uncontacted people and other aborigines have slowly improved in Brazil, the situation in Peru — on Brazil's western edge, though the jungle knows no boundary — is getting worse. Logging companies are allowed to clear forests inhabited by people; conflict and disease soon follow, and survivors flee east into lands already occupied by other tribes. Pictured above is a member of the Murunahua tribe, shot in the eye during first contact with loggers. Fueling the companies is demand for mahogany wood. Peru is the only Amazon country that still permits mahogany to be exported. "The onus lies on the consumers to boycott retailers," said Chris Fagan, executive director of the Upper Amazon Conservancy, an environmental and cultural conservation group that works in southeastern Peru. Image: Survival InternationalRecovery is Possible Given the dangers posed by the outside world, it can seem that uncontacted and little-contacted tribes are doomed. Yet given the chance, even tribes afflicted by disease and development can recover. In the 1980s and early 1990s, gold miners invaded the lands of the Yanomami in northern Brazil and southern Venezuela. Miners killed the Indians, both directly through violence and indirectly through disease. Yanomami populations fell. "Now this area is finally recognized and demarcated by the government," said Fiona Watson, research director of Survival International. "Their population is growing now. The land is free of invasions. If the land is protected, and the resources are there, these people will thrive." Image: A Yanomami family./Victor Englebert, Survival InternationalAssumptions of Violence Uncontacted tribes are typically considered violent, and even used as proxies by researchers trying to calculate rates of conflict and violence in Stone Age life. But such extrapolations may reveal less about Indians than about our methodological limitations. Anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon, for example, infamously wrote that approximately one in three Yanomami men died violently. Yet Chagnon based his results on a relative handful of interviews; accepted what may have been boasts as truths; and generally ignored the possibility that recent history, and not some deep-seated cultural proclivity, might be responsible for conflict. Chagnon and others — not to mention journalists and television crews — have also been responsible for practicing so-called "checkbook anthropology," rewarding cooperating Indians with motors, guns, alcohol and other objects that sowed the very conflicts they intended to study. Whatever their culture, Indian tribes deserve to be seen in an evolving historical context, not as living fossils. Image: Gleison Miranda, FUNAIStill Uncontacted Photographs released last week of a tribe in southwest Brazil have put public attention on uncontacted people, of which about 100 are believed to exist. Those tribes, most of whom live in the Amazon, are often described as living fossils of Stone Age life, flash-frozen in time. Such descriptions are unfair: We don't really know how people lived in the Stone Age, and there's no reason to think that uncontacted cultures have not continued to evolve in their own unique ways. What can be said, however, is that uncontacted people are threatened by disease and development. If they're going to survive, they need help from the outside world. Wired.com takes you on a tour of uncontacted people and the issues facing them — and us. (Editor's note: the machete in the photograph was likely obtained through trade with Indians who have made contact.)

Upstate Deputy Credited For Helping 4-Year-Old
Child Rushed To Hospital Before Clemson Football Game
The parents of a 4-year-old girl are crediting an Anderson County deputy for getting medical help their child desperately needed.
Katie Ann Glaser started walking to Memorial Stadium to watch a Clemson football game when her mother said the little girl started coughing and had an upset stomach.
Minutes before, Katie Ann Glaser had eaten a brownie with pecans in it.
Katie Ann's parents didn't know their daughter had a tree nut allergy and, at first, thought the little girl was simply having a slight asthma attack, something they dealt with from time to time.
On the way to the stadium, the parents stopped and asked Anderson County Investigator Tracy Call the location of the nearest first aid stand, never really believing they'd need it.
"I could look at her and tell she needed more than just going to the first aid stand. She needed somebody then," said Call.
Call's young son also has a tree nut allergy and knowing the symptoms, he called for an ambulance instead of letting the family go into the game.
"Within 15 minutes of having taking the first bite of a brownie, that she didn't even like, we were in the back of an ambulance," said Marianne Glaser, Katie Ann's mother. "That's when her lips started swelling, and she broke out in the body hives, and (her nose) just started running and her eyes got red and (there was) facial swelling."
Katie Ann Glaser was treated at the hospital and released later the same afternoon.
The 4-year-old now has to carry around an Epipen, which gives an epinephrine injection, if needed.
"The Clemson personnel, the police department, the first responders there had it under control before we, as parents, knew there was something to be under control," said Marianne Glaser.
"I'm just glad that everything turned out OK," said Call.
Marianne Glaser was able to thank Call by phone Tuesday.
"I just want to make sure you hear me say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. My husband and I have talked about it and we tried to say if it wasn't for you saying that day that we needed a medic to come and give (Katie Ann) attention, would we have gone into the football game? Would we have picked up on these signs? And, I just don't know that the answer would have been yes," said Marianne Glaser during the phone call. "Just the simple thing of you taking concern for her, out of the people who were there that day, making us feel like we were an individual that really mattered and you want to take extra care of, we really appreciate you."
According to the Mayo Clinic, the following are symptoms of a food allergy: tingling or itching in the mouth; hives, itching or eczema; swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, or other parts of the body; wheezing, nasal congestion or trouble breathing; abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting; dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting.

Insufficient meat content, meat and fat ingredients of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a meat product of unidentifiable origin. It is in meal form. We prefer not to see the use of unidentified "poultry" or "meat" products in dog foods. These are almost always very low quality, and it is impossible to identify species or source. The fat ingredient, third on the ingredient list, is also of unidentifiable species and source and similarly a very low quality ingredient. We note that research at Purdue University has identified fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested. Protein hydrolysate (usually from whey) is a low quality means of boosting the protein content of the food.
The main grains in the food are wheat and corn. Wheat is believed by many to be the number one cause of food allergy problems in dogs. As wheat shorts this consists of "fine particles of wheat bran, wheat germ, wheat flour, and the offal from the tail of the mill. This product must be obtained in the usual process of commercial milling and must contain not more than 7% crude fiber". In simpler terms, the floor sweepings from processing of wheat for flour and other products. Wheat flour (in dog food commonly a byproduct of human food production) is a further grain fragment we consider primarily filler. Corn is of limited value, being a difficult to digest grain that is also commonly implicated in food allergies. It is, at least, a whole grain.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.

Editor's note: Susan Bodnar is a clinical psychologist who teaches at Columbia University's Teachers College and at The Stephen Mitchell Center for Relational Studies. She lives in Manhattan with her husband, two children and all of their pets.
By Susan Bodnar, Special to CNN
(CNN) - Too often, we allow ourselves to be defined by our differences.
We are either red state or blue state; 1% or 99%; Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant; black, white or brown; pro-life or pro-choice.
For or against gun control.
The citizens of this country speak strongly and divisively. After all, it is baked in our American identity. This dissent, we argue, creates a healthy democracy, and an inquisitive mind.
But sometimes too much difference can cause dysfunction.
As a psychologist I have often witnessed the distinct parts of a person's mind come apart so strongly that extreme mental illness emerges.
Let's not let this be our country's fate.
Unity holds our country's promise. May we offer it as a legacy to those taken away from us so senselessly?
Let's let the little angels and their keepers who died so tragically become our inspiration for a society of difference that works together.
When so many little children die, as they did in the Sandy Hook tragedy, and when heroic teachers, a school psychologist and a principal are called upon to defend the lives of little ones with their own, we have two choices.
We can succumb to the base ugliness of despair.
Or we can repair.
Can we finally admit and agree that we have a problem with violence in our country and decide to fix it?
Sometimes so much focus on our collective differences obscures the valiant and expansive nature of the American character.
This weekend, however, we cried together.
Perhaps we found a way to honor our differences while also unifying for our children.
At the Sandy Hook memorial service, the nation witnessed Jews, Christians, Muslims, B'hai – black, white and brown – come together to mourn and to pray.
It felt like the template for our future.
President Obama asked us, "Can we say that we're truly doing enough to give all the children of this country the chance they deserve to live out their lives in happiness and with purpose?"
We are not.
The knowledge that we have not done our best for our children lingers: Our kids need to know they can rely on us to manage our differences like the adults we are.
Coming together despite - or even because of - our differences happens more rarely than hearing about another episode of mass violence.
There is a better way.
The courage to create a country where all people can be different but equal, the same but also unique, characterizes the potential of our American identity.
We have shown this when we abolished slavery, rose from the ashes of war, and how we rebuilt after 9/11.
Now, again, is the time to build unity in our diversity – without losing the vestiges of a cultural past to which we are attached.
We can comfort our children, everyone's children, and the children we once were with the patchwork quilt that symbolizes our national character and identity.
We can make collective decisions about mental health care, better gun control and rein in aspects of the violent entertainment world that holds our kids' dreams hostage to cynicism and rage.
We can create an economy that fairly enables every person to enjoy individual levels of success while protecting that patchwork quilt that keeps us going, makes us strong and gives every child the same fair chance to thrive.
We can create a society where every person has the chance to live out his or her life in happiness and with purpose.
Will this prevent tragedy?
Will it prevent evil?
But it can make overcoming evil possible.
When the adults of this world can say we have done our absolute best, we can blunt evil's impact, and provide our children an example that can sustain them through the worst of times.
Just wondering why no mention about the possible long term fall out and effects on young children of divorced parents no matter how amicable the separation appear on the surface..
I would like to think that the only reason we don't mount our unicorns and sing Kumbaya is that unicorns are mythological.
Maybe the hard nosed approach that describes a plea for peace as drivel is part of the problem.
Blame will not solve the problem of Violence, or most likely any other problem.
Investigation might better solve the problem. Maybe by employing tools such as:
...when you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'
Sherlock Holmes
Now lets start a check list:
1. Mental illness – possible
2. Available weapons – possible
3. Evil – possible
4. Ignorance – possible
5. Self Righteousness – possible
6. Self Control – possible
Maybe I should have started with the impossibles. Can anyone help?
Good Lord, what drivel. Next the author will be suggesting we all mount our unicorns for a rousing chorus of "Kumbaya". There are differences, wide differences, between us on a variety of issues, some more critical than others. Closing our eyes and hoping for the best will not solve these issues and that is all that is offered here.
Susan, maybe you can tell us why your patients are running around with guns killing people? Why not focus on that?
Pumba- you sir are a man that makes foolish comments. I hesitate to call you a fool. But based on what you wrote i'll assume that i'm very close on my EVALUATION. For now. Maybe you should go see a psych doctor- get that checked out.
Angels? Like, with wings? Are you kidding?
Echoing Pax a little - it's nice to say we need to talk and find solutions, but the reality is that we've been talking and looking for common ground for years without success. A tragedy isn't likely to change peoples' worldviews. Some people believe government programs and regulation are needed to help people, and others believe such programs and regulations actually hurt the people they're intended to help. Where is the common ground between "government must do more" and "government must do less"?
I can't help but be reminded of the earliest days after the killings on 9/11. How wonderful everyone was to each other. People were kinder, gentler and friendly to each other. People held doors for each, heck I even had someone let me go in front of them in a line at the store. It seems they even drove with more courtesy. ( in Boston that's not a common thing!) Unfortunately though, it didn't last. People get over the feeling of being scared and living in an out-of-control world. I wish we could all just get along. It takes each and every one of us. I even see people being disagreeable in response to your article! I do what I can to make a difference every day, but that's just me. People are even unpleasant at Christmastime. When did that happen? Happy Holidays!
Interesting flowery talk, but no solutions offered. Susan Bodnar is simply offering more of the Socialist Obama mantra: "We need to change this country, and the only way to do it is to get rid of what makes each of us unique. We need to absolutely force everything to melt in this 'Great Melting Pot' so that we are all completely equal..then somehow we'll all get along and be hearts and flowers and unicorns."
It's getting where nobody wants anybody to be an expert on anything except the "experts" who agree with the liberal or socialistic agenda. It is fast becoming a society of "If you don't agree that 'The Emperor's New Clothes are Magnificent' then you are not worthy of your office or are too stupid to have a correct opinion at all."
Wanting everyone to "just get along" is good and noble, but forcing that outcome at the cost of individual American freedom or Natural Freedom is what Socialism is all about. We should be good and kind to one another by our own Free Will, not at the command of a law.
Interesting read. I think the opening where you noted "we speak strongly and devisively is where the problem has grown from. In most cases, it is not even the subject that is in dispute as much as it has become a person's desire (and need) to be right. I have been guilty of this, as has everyone I know.
It is no longer enough to have an opinion, or even voice it. We have to shout down and belittle the other side to the point that no one even knows what we are fighting about. I don't think that is what the country was founded on. It was a desire to share opinions and work together. Too bad it takes something this horrific and unthinkable to bring civility to the discussion (for a few days).
In the end, "We the People" are going to have to start the move and demand it also come from those we elect to represent us. It is clear that NO ONE in Washington is going to take the lead and give compromise anything but lip service. Does anyone really want our children acting the way grown adults do in this country?? I doubt it.
Susan, I appreciate your compassion towards the innocents of this current tragedy.
I am not a psychologist or physchiatrist, and have not even been to college, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist, or nuero-surgeon to notice that most folks don't know and or have time to care about the Mind, or its illnesses.
Many folks self medicate, or lacrimate, and maybe even masticate to make the dreaded 'Thinking' go away.
It just gives them a headache, and besides we pay other folks to think for us – like you.
Maybe the USA needs an actual Think Tank, a whole force/army of individuals trained in the decision making processes who can teach the possibility of common sense and logical/analitic thought.
Like a school of the Mind, nah, nevermind that is too hard to think about

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Novak Djokovic got a huge scare from 15th-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka before hanging on to win in the 22nd game of the fifth set to advance to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
The top-seeded Djokovic needed 5 hours, 2 minutes for a 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 12-10 victory that ended early Monday morning.
Djokovic broke Wawrinka's serve in the final game to clinch the win on his third match point with a cross-court backhand.
Djokovic is the two-time defending champion and has an 18-match winning streak at Melbourne Park. He is trying to become the first man in the Open era to win the tournament three times in a row.

Serious Reads: 5 Food Books We're Loving
1. Pumpkin, by Cindy Ott
The time of year between roughly October 1st and December 1st is pumpkin season on porches and tabletops across the U.S. From jack-o-lanterns to pumpkin pie, we rejoice in the meat, seeds, skin, size, and beauty of the pumpkin. Cindy Ott takes her pumpkin affection a step further in Pumpkin: The Curious History of an American Icon. The book traces the pumpkin's history back to its uses in Native American cuisine and follows it through its slow transition onto the plates of early settlers who referred to the fruits as "pompions." Today, as Ott puts it, "The importance of the idea of pumpkin over its substance has completely outweighed the necessity of a [pumpkin-flavored] food's containing even a trace of the vegetable." In other words, pumpkins are so popular nowadays that pumpkin-flavored treats (as we've particularly noticed this season) are almost entirely disconnected from the original shape and taste of the pumpkin itself. If you're interested in sharing dozens of fun facts about pumpkins at your holiday parties this year, Pumpkin is a crucial read.
2. Anything That Moves, by Dana Goodyear
As foodie-ness continues to gain appeal—and simultaneously, backlash against it becomes more vociferous—the boundaries of what constitutes "good food" are being challenged. Dana Goodyear became interested in looking at how chefs, eaters, distributors, and farmers are navigating an increasingly daring food culture in the United States. In Anything That Moves: Renegade Chefs, Fearless Eaters, and the Making of a New American Food Cultures, she checks in with folks whose culinary mission is to expand the palate of American cuisine. From raw milk to bugs (spider sushi, anyone?), Goodyear tastes and tests with the most daring eaters she can find. The results are entertaining—provided you have a strong stomach.
3. Soul Food, by Adrian Miller
"What comes to mind when you hear the words 'soul food'?," asks Adrian Miller in the preface to his new book Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time. He posits that many folks think of fried chicken, boiled vegetables, lard, and other unappealing or unhealthy stereotypes of southern cuisine. Soul food has often been used as a scapegoat for poor health in black communities, which Miller argues is an incomplete and unfair picture of the reality of the black American diet. In Soul Food, he provides a compelling look at how soul food came to be and how its definition and perception has changed over time. Plus, he includes a few great recipes so you can try your hand at some lesser-known soul food classics.
4. Best Food Writing 2013, edited by Holly Hughes
I always look forward to the latest installation in the Best Food Writing series, edited by Holly Hughes. The anthologies always feature excellent essays on a variety of topics, from a meditation on seasonal eating to a rediscovery of a classic gingerbread cookie recipe. One of the stand-outs from this year's collection is written by our own J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, titled "How to Make Real New England Clam Chowder." Another of my favorites was Sarah DiGregorio's short, incredibly touching "When There Was Nothing Left to Do, I Fed Her Ice Cream," an intimate memory of feeding her mother Hoodsie Cups as she lay in a hospital bed. There are dozens more enjoyable pieces in this year's edition.
5. San Francisco, A Food Biography by Erica J. Peters
As a recent New York City-to-San Francisco transplant, much of SF's food history is as foreign to me as the local affinity for waiting on line (in line?). Luckily Erica J. Peters lays it all out in San Francisco: A Food Biography. The book covers the origination and growth of San Francisco, and details how the city became a foodie hotspot. My favorite section pertains to immigration patterns and how newcomers introduced their cuisines to American palates. Today's San Francisco provides a vast spread of culinary options—check out Peters' book if you'd like to find out the history of Ghirardelli chocolate, Mitchell's ice cream, and more of the city's staples.

LONDON -- Britain's Prince Philip has left hospital in time to celebrate his 91st birthday.
The husband of Queen Elizabeth II thanked staff at London's King Edward VII Hospital Saturday after spending five days there for treatment for a bladder infection.
Philip got into the front passenger seat of a Land Rover before being whisked off under police escort.
He nodded when reporters shouted out questions about whether he was feeling better.
Philip turns 91 on Sunday. His wife recently celebrated her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years on the throne.

The Amazing Perks of Being on Team USA
September 15, 2012
Being a part of Team USA definitely comes with some amazing perks. Free clothes, memories that will last a lifetime, and meeting the President. This week, the entire U.S. Olympic and Paralympic team was invited to the White House to meet the President. Most of the team arrived on Thursday night and headed straight to the hotel, where we were given a new Nike bag with some pants, a shirt, and a letterman jacket. Once we were all checked in, we headed to a function where all of the athletes dressed up and mingled for a few hours at Union Station. The food was absolutely incredible. From crab cakes to a flag made out of cupcakes, the evening was nothing short of amazing. It was so nice to see teammates and friends that we hadn't seen since the end of the Olympics. Many people talk about having "post-Olympic depression", and we were all able to talk about how much we missed each other's company and how great it was to finally be together again.
The next morning we loaded onto the buses early around 7am and headed over to the White House. We mingled amongst the President's private band, secret service, and countless photographers. Around 10am, the First Lady and the President walked out onto the lawn, each giving an amazing speech about the powerful effect all of the athletes have made on the country this summer. The President, the First Lady, and the Vice President all stayed after the program was over to shake every single Olympian and Paralympian's hand. There were over 400 of us. To see how personable and genuine the President was put us all in awe. The entire trip was absolutely amazing and it is obviously something that none of us will ever forget. As for now, we all part back to reality, hoping to see each other again sooner rather than later.

Bird-like dinosaurs
Many of the characteristics of early and modern birds appeared first in theropod dinosaurs. Feathers, wishbones, modified "flapping" forelimbs and hollow bones are found in the coelurosaurs.
Coelurosaurs are the theropod group that includes tyrannosaurs and dromaeosaurs.
Even more bird-like in appearance and behaviour are the subgroup of coelurosaurs known as deinonychosaurs. These dinosaurs, such as Bambiraptorand Velociraptor, shared the most recent common ancestor with birds. Considering who came first, perhaps we should stop describing dinosaurs as having bird-like behaviour and start thinking of birds as behaving like dinosaurs.
The fossilised skeleton of Mei long, a non-avian coelurosaur from China, was preserved with its head 'tucked' under its forelimb. This posture resembles the 'sleeping' pose commonly used by modern birds. Such inferred behaviour strengthens the link between non-avian dinosaurs and birds.
Examples of bird-like dinosaurs include:
- Caudipteryx zoui. Fossils from China, Early Cretaceous, 130–125 million years ago. Classification: Theropoda; Oviraptorosauria. Caudipteryx means 'tail wing', referring to the tail plume that this non-avian dinosaur may have fanned out for display. The rest of the body was covered in short primitive feathers with longer feathers on its arms and tail.
- Sinosauropteryx prima. Fossils from China, Early Cretaceous, 130–125 million years ago. Classification: Theropoda; Compsognathidae. The discovery of Sinosauropteryx prima in 1996 was one of the most important fossil finds of the century. It was the first non-avian dinosaur found with feather-like structures, providing further evidence for the link between dinosaurs and birds. Its name means 'first Chinese lizard wing'.
- Sinornithosaurus millenii. Fossils from China, Early Cretaceous, 130-125 million years ago. Classification: Theropoda; Dromaeosauridae. Sinornithosaurus was one of the first dinosaurs discovered with feathers.This active and agile species probably hunted in groups, and recent research (published in 2010) suggests it may even have been venomous as it had similar teeth and jaw structures to modern rear-fanged snakes. Depressions on the side of its face could have housed a venom gland, and these connected to depressions above the tooth row that fed venom to long grooved teeth in the upper jaw.
The earliest-known feathered dinosaurs
Although it is widely accepted that a small group of theropod dinosaurs gave rise to birds, finding feathered dinosaurs in the fossil record that predate the earliest known bird Archaeopteryx (150myo) has proven elusive. That was until Anchiornis huxleyi was announced in 2009. This species, found in China, dates to between 151-161 million years old and has well-developed feathers on all four limbs. Quick on its heals was the announcement of another stunning new feathered dinosaur Haplocheirus sollers, also from China and about 160 million years old. Haplocheirus is a type of alvarezsauriod, a group of dinosaurs once thought to be flightless birds, but lacks the bird-like features found in later alvarezsauriods such as fused wrist bones and a backward-facing pubis.
The dinosaur–bird transition
Modern birds, early birds and coelurosaur dinosaurs share many physical features:
- feathers
- hollow and thin-walled bones
- wishbone
- modified shoulder and forelimb enabling hands to fold against the lower arm
- modified wrist (semilunate carpal)

Donation to be used to fix Long Beach Ice Arena
Long Beach Ice Arena, a nearly 40-year-old hub of activity hit hard by superstorm Sandy, will soon be refurbished.
The 32,500-square-foot arena will receive a new refrigeration system, new ice and flooring, a new ice resurfacing machine and electrical repairs through a $25,000 donation from the New York Rangers and Chase bank, city spokesman Gordon Tepper said.
The grant arrives at a time when the cash-poor city has struggled to reopen the arena, which has been closed since Sandy. The arena lost its flooring system and suffered damage to its refrigeration and electrical system after 4 feet of water flooded the building.
The city does not have a timetable for its reopening, but the donation will help, Tepper said.
"It's going to be a brand new, fabulous ice arena," Tepper said. "Their donation will go a long way."
The Rangers decided to help refurbish the arena in part because of the 800-seat facility's significance to the club's history, Chase and the Rangers said in a statement. The team practiced at the arena in the 1970s.
When the arena reopens, it will allow a new generation of hockey fans to "learn the game of hockey and hone their skills," said Howard Jacobs, executive vice president of marketing and sales for MSG Sports, which owns the Rangers.
Long Beach owns and operates the 39-year-old bayfront facility, which served as a recovery hub and aid distribution center after Sandy.
The Rangers and Chase are also restoring Playland Ice Casino in Rye.
The Dolan family owns controlling interests in the Rangers, Madison Square Garden and Cablevision. Cablevision owns Newsday.

Internet Rumors About Dogs: Truth from Fiction
Thanks to the Web, information and misinformation is spreading faster than ever before. Anyone with an internet connection and an email address is susceptible to a daily bombardment of news flashes, hoaxes, gossip, rumors, and urban legends, and itââ¬â¢s often difficult to discern whatââ¬â¢s believable and what should be immediately dumped into your inboxââ¬â¢s ââ¬ÅTrash.ââ¬Â
Information about dogs, both dubious and credible, is circulating around the internet along with stories about gas boycotts, terrorist threats, and get-rich-quick schemes. Weââ¬â¢ve tracked down and dissected some of the most common ââ¬Årumorsââ¬Â about products which may endanger your dogââ¬â¢s health, and gone straight to the source to bring you the truth.
The Rumor: Febreeze Fabric Spray is Harmful to Dogs
Perhaps the original internet rumor regarding a threat to petsââ¬â¢ health involved Febreeze Fabric Spray. The fabric refresher spray was introduced in the late 1990ââ¬â¢s; in December, 1998, it became the subject of alarming emails forwarded to thousands of people. The original email, from an unknown source, claimed that ââ¬Åmultipleââ¬Â dogs and cats had become ill, some fatally, after their owners used Febreeze in their homes or directly on the petsââ¬â¢ bedding or living area. The email blamed the deaths on two components of the spray: zinc chloride and aerosol propellants.
In fact, Febreeze contains neither zinc chloride nor aerosol propellants (itââ¬â¢s a pump, not a spray). Like most cleaning products, it was extensively tested for safety concerns before its release to the public. A consensus of veterinarians, scientists, and toxicologists have concluded that Febreeze, when used as directed, is safe to use around dogs and cats. (See a statement from the manufacturer here.)
Rumor: Swiffer Wet Jet is Harmful to Dogs
As the Febreeze scare died down, another rumor regarding cleaning products sprang up to take its place. In 2004, a widely circulated email stated that a German Shepherd Dog and two cats died of liver failure after their owner cleaned his floor with the Swiffer Wet Jet. The email further claimed that the ownerââ¬â¢s investigation into his petsââ¬â¢ deaths revealed that the Wet Jet cleanser contained antifreeze, which was ingested by the pets after they crossed the wet floor and then licked their paws.
In fact, the Wet Jet cleanser does not contain ingredients that are harmful to pets. According to the manufacturer, Proctor and Gamble, the cleanser is composed mostly of water, with a 1-4 % addition of propylene glycol n-propyl ether and isopropyl alcohol. The dangerous compound in antifreeze is ethylene glycol; proplyene glycol is categorized as ââ¬Ågenerally recognized as safeââ¬Â by the FDA. Further, the Wet Jet manufacturers state that it is specially formulated to dry without leaving a residue, making it a good choice for pet owners. (You can read their statement here.)
Of course, dog owners should decide for themselves which cleaning products they are comfortable using in their homes, and use all products with care around their dogs. It goes without saying that all cleaning products should be kept out of reach of curious canines.
Rumor: Cocoa Bean Mulch is Harmful to Dogs
In 2003, a rumor began circulating that ââ¬Åmanyââ¬Â dogs had died after ingesting mulch made of cocoa beans. Although there is no official record of fatalities, the main message of this rumor is true.
Cocoa mulch is a rich, fragrant mulch made from the waste shell from the extraction of chocolate from cocoa beans. It smells sweet, like chocolate, and therefore can be appetizing to dogs. Unfortunately, also like chocolate, it contains caffeine and theobromine, both of which can be hazardous and even deadly for dogs.
Different types of chocolate contain varying amounts of theobromine; white chocolate has the least per ounce, while unsweetened baking chocolate has the most. Cocoa mulch can contain as much or more theobromine per ounce than baking chocolate, making it a highly dangerous ââ¬Åtreatââ¬Â for curious dogs. Depending upon the amount ingested, theobromine can cause symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal upset to rapid heartbeat, seizures, and death.
An official statement from Hersheyââ¬â¢s confirms that 50% of dogs who ingest cocoa mulch can suffer harm; however, it goes on to state that ââ¬Å98% of dogs wonââ¬â¢t eat it.ââ¬Â It would seem prudent, however, not to leave it up to chance, and to use a less sweet-smelling mulch in areas of your gardens that are accessible to dogs.
Rumor: Grapes are Harmful for Dogs
In 2004, another ââ¬ÅWarning to Dog Ownersââ¬Â began circulating. This one claimed that grapes and raisins can cause renal failure in canines.
The story was quickly picked up by a number of veterinary and general-interest news sitesââ¬âand as it turns out, it, too, is true. Dogs can become fatally ill after ingesting grapes and raisins. In some dogs, as few as seven raisins brought on symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhea, and shaking. The fruits can cause the kidneys to shut down, and often, even aggressive treatment is unsuccessful.
No one is sure why grapes and raisins cause this reaction in dogs. All dog owners should refrain from feeding grapes and raisins as treats to their dogs, and keep them well out of reach. If you suspect your dog has ingested grapes, or if he starts showing symptoms, contact your vet immediately.
No doubt the coming months will see a new crop of mass email warnings and rumors about products, food stuffs, and practices that are harmful for dogs. If you hear something ââ¬Åthrough the grapevineââ¬Â that causes concern, we suggest going straight to the source. If itââ¬â¢s a man-made product thatââ¬â¢s rumored to cause harm, contact the manufacturer with your questions. For natural products, contact your veterinarian or a pet poison control center. And, of course, use preventionââ¬âsuch as keeping questionable products away from your dogsââ¬âas a cure, and common sense as a guide.

I have a quick question. I'm setting up a Monitoring system on my network. I have a router (virtual) in place and a firewall in front of the server. In between the router and firewall there is a vlan. So off my interface for the router I have subnet address for the interface i.e: eth0 (goes to virtual router) eth0.115 (goes to subnet).
Is it necessary for me to monitor the subnet in order to get a proper read on any bandwidth or packet loss, especially since it's in between two nodes I'm monitoring already?
Thank you! Much appreciated!

July 21, 2012
On July 9, 2012, ATF Acting Director Todd Jones told potential whistleblowers they will face "consequences" if they don't "respect the chain of command" and ask permission to release information damaging to the agency.
"Choices and consequences means simply that if you make poor choices, that if you don't abide by the rules, that if you don't respect the chain of command, if you don't find the appropriate way to raise your concerns to your leadership, there will be consequences, because we cannot tolerate — we cannot tolerate — an undisciplined organization," he said.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa., and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., sent a letter Wednesday to Jones declaring the message "could be interpreted as a threat" and asked him to clarify.
"Your ominous message — which could be interpreted as a threat — is likely to have a major chilling effect on ATF employees exercising their rights to contact Congress," they wrote.
"What it appears to be is a not-so-veiled threat telling (ATF employees) not to do what they did to expose Fast and Furious," Issa said. "He's basically saying 'no, keep it in the chain'."
The ATF insists the video (above) was taken out of context.
"It was directed at employees who violate the rules. It was not directed at those with protected disclosure," said ATF spokeswoman Ginger Colbrun.

Part of my job as a Kiva Fellow in Managua, Nicaragua is to facilitate connections between Kiva lenders and the borrowers. A couple of weeks ago, I had a unique opportunity to participate in a TIME Magazine interview of an enthusiastic Kiva entrepreneur, Freddy Antonio Castillo Luna.
Kiva lender and journalist Joel Stein had been in contact with Fiona Ramsey, Public Relations Director at Kiva, in attempts to coordinate an interview between him and a Kiva entrepreneur he had supported. Seemingly inspired by the cupcake mania in the US these days, Joel chose to interview baker Freddy.
Freddy runs Little Mango Bakery out of his home in the Libertad neighborhood on the outskirts of Managua, a business he started 14 years ago. He received his Kiva loan to purchase basic ingredients for his baked goods through Afodenic.
I went to meet Freddy with Lismary Chacón, Managua branch manager, and Yader Videa Lezama, Freddy's loan officer of Afodenic. The first 20 minutes of the drive is on decent city streets, while the last 20 are quite the opposite – dirt roads with giant potholes that really put the 4×4 capacity to good use. This is quite normal in Nicaragua, as no roads are really just mediocre – they are either smooth going or rough riding.
We arrive at Freddy´s home, which is one of many side-by-side small constructions bordering a narrow, steep, pothole-ridden road. Freddy greets us with a warm smile and introduces us to his wife and three children. I am thrilled to see that Freddy smiles, often, unlike what his original profile picture would lead me to believe.
Freddy gives us the bakery tour, all housed in his backyard, featuring a large oven, a machine to flatten the dough, scales, ingredients, and towers of trays of freshly prepared doughy sweets, ready for baking.
I explain to Freddy that Joel has supported his business through a Kiva loan, and that he is a journalist known for his wry humor. Well, I hope that's what I said, as conveying the nuances of journalistic prowess is not so easy in a second language.
We settle in, and.. we wait. The four-way conference call finally comes, with Giovanna Masci, Microfinance Partnerships Manager for the Americas, and Fiona in San Francisco, Joel in New York, and Freddy, Lismary, Yader and me in Nicaragua. I am careful to tilt my head just so to maintain 2 service bars on my cellphone.
I understood that my function in the interview was not only to serve as a translator between Joel and Freddy, but also to be a cultural filter. I think anyone who speaks two languages would agree that this is the most delicate aspect of translation – one with which I do not have a large amount of experience.
But we jumped right in, with Joel's first proposition – to change the name of Freddy's business to Joel and Freddy's Extreme Cupcakes. Whew, how does one convey the American marketing sense of extreme, not to mention the cupcake craze sweeping the nation – two cultural touchstones that don't exactly translate in the land where cajetas reign supreme and most small businesses don't have a name, much less a marketing strategy?
The cellular musical chairs went as such – Joel would ask me a question for Freddy, which I would translate while holding the phone to my ear. I would then pass the cellphone to Freddy, which he would hold to his ear while responding to me. He would then pass the cellphone back to me, and I would translate what he had said, and Giovanna would chime in with translation clarifications.
Cupcakes became 'tiny round cakes'. Oprah became Cristina. Chai tea and red velvet flavors became 'taste of India' and 'cherry chocolate'. Joel proposed a price of $4 per cupcake, while Freddy thought that, yes, a new product to the market should cost more than typical products, but $.80 would be much more reasonable for his customers.
Joel's approach to the interview was to play the part of an overzealous Kiva lender, eager to involve himself in Freddy's business as a return on his investment. Considering this was the first contact Freddy had ever had, in any way, with a Kiva lender, it was a real struggle to find the words to translate Joel's questions correctly, without misleading Freddy as to his intentions, and those of Kiva.
Joel asked for a general estimate of what Freddy needed to improve his business to prepare for cupcake creation, so that he could approach Sprinkles in Los Angeles about a possible investment. Freddy hopped up and led me back to the bakery, where he showed me missing wooden panels and holes in the tin walls, the incomplete roof and dirt floors. As he looked around, I could see Freddy imagining what a partnership with an investor from the US could do for his business. I was sensitive to Freddy's emotions in this moment, sincerely hoping something might come of Joel's offer.
With a hearty round of thanks and a sampling of the yummy pico tostado, we finished. I felt my shoulders finally ease, realizing I had been tense with nerves and excitement throughout the two hour visit. I can only imagine how Freddy must have felt, becoming Kiva's star in Time Magazine through a cellphone interview, hot potato style.
Joel did contact Sprinkles, who offered to donate $750 towards the repair of Freddy's roof, along with their strawberry cupcake recipe. The reality of putting this generous offer to use involves many changes to the Little Mango Bakery – purchasing a refrigerator and dairy products, selling only to stores who have refrigeration, toying with the open-flame wood stove to successfully produce a moist cupcake, not to mention finding a cupcake tin itself!
Freddy's story has served as an example of what I believe about loans versus donations. Loans allow entrepreneurs to identify what they need to succeed, and attain it in small, well-planned steps, while donations can arrive on your doorstep without a real path towards utilizing them. Microfinance is sustainable because it allows the entrepreneur to achieve their goals in the way they see fit in a timely manner.
Having already enjoyed Freddy's sumptuous baked goods, I look forward to giving his version of a cupcake a try – though, the only strawberries I've seen in Nicaragua are imported. I bet Oprah and Cristina would both give a passion fruit cupcake a try.

A victim of identity theft is telling his story, hoping others can protect themselves from other criminals out there.
"The thieves knew my personal information, contacted my credit card company and pretended to be me," said ID theft victim Christopher Hagler.
The identity thieves got credit cards in Hagler's name, along with 19 other victims, and then went on a shopping spree.
"They tried to spend $250,000 on watches, jewelry, purse," explained US Postal Inspector Eric Shen.
Hagler said, "They went to a jewelry store. They selected a nice-looking gold Rolex for the price tag of $29,000... I was furious. I was also in a bit of disbelief about how cold such a thing happen, especially when I am very cautious about security."
To avoid having your credit card information end up in the hands of thieves, Hagler has some advice.
"Make sure you're not using your mother's maiden name, or any family, genealogical information in your passwords, because a lot of that information is on the web and thieves know how to find it," he said.
Shen adds, "Don't have too many credit cards. Check your statements."
"It's very unnerving to know that someone out there is pretending to be you… It's chilling actually," said Hagler.
Even more chilling: Postal Inspector Shen says once you're a victim of identity theft, there's the potential that you'll be a victim multiple times. It's because your information is out there and will get passed around.
Because of that, the Better Business Bureau of Northeast Florida says everyone needs to check their credit reports. Everyone is entitled to free checks every year with each of the three credit reporting agencies. The BBB recommends the website AnnualCreditReport.com. It has step-by-step instructions and links to all three credit bureaus.

If your system has been rooted, you can't trust utilities like
ps to show processes from the rootkit. For ferreting out nasties, you'll want to check out
unhide and unhide.rb.
If you've ever encountered a rootkit, you know the symptoms -- suddenly a box is sluggish or sending out gobs of network traffic -- but running
top and
ps aux show nothing that should be the culprit. One quick and dirty way to turn up the offending processes is to use the
unhide utility or its Ruby counterpart
unhide.rb. It's a helpful tool to have around for Linux server management.
unhide utility is available, at least, on recent releases of Debian and Ubuntu. The Ruby script is available on Launchpad, but it's not available in any of the recent releases yet. I'd recommend grabbing both -- the legacy utility seems prone to false positives. It may still be useful, but I'd have both just in case. It's also unclear whether it's still under development -- the site for the utility 404s now. Both are open source software, of course.
The use is simple -- for
unhide you have three options:
sys, and
brute. The first two compare output from system information (
/proc and system calls, respectively) against
ps. The
brute technique checks all process IDs. Just run (as root, naturally)
unhide brute (or whatever option) and if it finds anything it will print out the process IDs that might be a problem.
Note that you'll also find an
unhide-posix and
unhide-tcp utility. The -posix utility is for pre-2.6 Linux systems. I suppose there might be a few people still running Linux 2.4 systems, but I can't imagine that it's very many. Fewer still that are actually concerned with security.
unhide-tcp utility looks for TCP and (despite the name) UDP ports that are open, but not listed in netstat.
unhide.rb utility is run without options. So far, I've found that it has fewer false positives than
unhide on known-clean systems.
These aren't foolproof, of course -- but they're useful first-pass utilities on a system that you suspect might be compromised. It's good to have something quick-and-dirty to check for obvious signs of intrusion -- not all rootkits are written well. Next week I'll cover a couple more forensic utilities that can help search out problems a bit more thoroughly.
